Madrid, Spain, is a prime destination for convention tourism. Each year, the Spanish capital welcomes more than a million business tourists. Madrid is the undisputed international hub between Europe and South America and has vast potential to become the primary gateway to North America thanks to the city's main airport-Madrid-Barajas-which operates direct flights to 200 destinations around the world. The city of Madrid has 234 hotels within the three-, four-, and five-star categories able to accommodate a combined total of nearly 80,000 guests. Madrid has some 120,000 restaurants, cafés, clubs and cocktail bars. Its fabulous restaurants include nine Michelin-star recipients. The region's excellent climate, with almost 3,000 hours of sunlight a year, the safety factor, the quality of life and the multicultural ambience which permeates the city all combine to create a perfect fusion between the business world and leisure attractions.
